Re: On the other hand (none / 0)

Well, I haven't been following closely, but it seems he did post a diary about High Speed Trains 2 days ago which seems to indicate a change of tack.

You can't be me, I'm taken

Re: On the other hand (none / 0)

True, but I think he went back to his original ways in some recent comments to redstar.

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to your country.

And rg, too, if I'm not mistaken.

Nope, he's never been rude to me. (That I can remember.)

Re: On the other hand (none / 0)

No, seriously. Here's his last comment directly to me.

You've partly reinvented the 'job complexes' of participatory economics. Not exactly a surprise since they make a lot of sense.
Speaking of automation, you may also be interested in reading Michael Goldhaber's essays, many on First Monday. Soon enough, money will no longer be effective in structuring even a fascist economy. Not that it was ever effective at structuring a human economy.

I'm a fan of participatory economics and First Monday seems interesting.

It's just that he keeps going off on one (but not at me personally--I'm pretty sure of that) and I...er...wanted to echo his tone back to him...humorously was my intention...because when he's not in CAPS LOCK--boldface--"I have a thin skin for EVIL" mode....(I have a thin skin for evil...issa classic. I really would love to read a diary by richardk on the subject of

EVIL!

...t'would make interesting--and hopefully humorous--reading I think, though I could be wrong.)

Overall, it seems he has been a troll elsewhere (hat tip to balbuz)...and, well, my working definition of a troll is a person who seeks to derail...hmmm...the narrative line...in unwanted ways, in richardk's case by becoming suddenly offensive to posters. So I became suddenly offensive to him. But I honestly don't think he was ever offensive to me. Or maybe I just forgot?

Re: On the other hand (none / 0)

If I meant anything, it was that he abusively troll-rated you.

But now I see you're pi in the sky: 3.14

Re: On the other hand (none / 0)

Oh, I deserved--and expected--to be troll-rated...well, the hieronymus bosch didn't deserve to be troll-rated because it's beautiful.

Here it is again.

3.14!
